The Cartographer's Log A navigator's field journal, lost across the seas. Piece together the routes of a master cartographer.

It runs to 8 pages, which turn up in the drop pool of certain quests. A complete journal can be handed in for a token, and the journal then resets, so it is worth filling more than once.

The drop chance is for the whole pool, and a page of this journal is one thing in it.

The pages

1. Day 12 - The current pulls east here. No chart shows it, but I feel it in the tiller.

2. Day 34 - Spotted land where none should be. Three peaks, volcanic. The birds here sing at night.

3. Day 55 - The stars are wrong at this latitude. My astrolabe disagrees with my eyes.

4. Day 71 - Found carvings on the rocks. Someone was here before. Portuguese? Older.

5. Day 89 - The reef forms a natural harbour. A fleet could hide here unseen for weeks.

6. Day 104 - I have named the strait after my daughter. She will never see it.

7. Day 130 - The magnetic anomaly persists. Compasses spin freely. Navigate by stars only.

8. Day 152 - If you are reading this, you have followed my route. The island at the end is real.
